Dressed to Impress?

I have a theory that you can tell a lot about someone by the way he dresses. There's a reason it's called personal style. You probably think I'm wrong since you're above all that superficial trendy stuff. Well, Mr. Navy-blue-shirt-and-black-basketball-shorts, whether your outfit was planned three days in advance or just something you threw on, it reflects something about you. From where I'm standing, it says that your planning process was more likely the latter of the two previously mentioned situations and that you have to be color blind if you think navy and black match in any way at all. Stop laughing, guy in the brown pants and a black shirt. You don't match either\nLet's be honest. U.Va. is a place where the only people who go to class in sweatpants are hardcore athletes. Bad fashion choices tend to stick out. It's like dressing in the latest trends is the way to blend in here. Does that mean you have to go out and buy yourself a nice North Face coat and a pair of Sperrys? No. In fact, please don't.

I mean, certain looks tend to give off certain images. For instance, today I was informed that scrunchies are making a comeback. This - along with Crocs, overalls and Velcro sandals - is only cute on tiny children. I can't help but conclude that you are stuck in the glory days of your past - somewhere around 1995, to be exact. Well, it may be time to move on. Let bygones be bygones. Live and let love or whatever clich
